1. You have to wipe all (system, data, cache and dalvik) before flash Cyanogen Mod.
2. Boot symbol needs time normally (~ 10 min loading the config).
In what order do you wipe everything ?
I do a factory reset, then wipe cache and finally wipe the dalvik cache
That's it, buddy. With emphasis on "FACTORY RESET".
Let's us know if that worked for ya...
Does it matter what custom recovery you have ?

Is clockworkmod or team win better ?
TWRP. Certain ROMs will not install with Clockworkmod as the recovery.

I have already downloaded the file and placed it on my internal sd card. Which gapps should I chose ?
Android 5.1.1. Which package you desire is up to you. I personally use the nano package.
Bootloop once again

I did a factory reset, wiped the cache and dalvik cache. I flashed cyamogenmod alone and it hasn't booted in 20 minutes. Please help
Let's clarify something. What model number shows up when you enter download mode? Also, is it hanging on the Samsung logo or the boot animation?

It gets stuck at cyamogenmod logo and the download mode model number is Samsung MSM8960
Umm, no. The model number should be GT-I9505 or something similar. Regardless, what GApps package are you using? CM12.1 has trouble with some of the GApps packages and bootloops occur because of it.
Sorry the model is i9505

I have tried to install cyamogenmod 12.1 alone without gapps but had no success.
Something with your phone isn't right. Either you're missing a step in installing Cyanogenmod, or else your phone's internal storage spaces are not configured correctly. I would recommend starting from scratch, meaning installing the latest stock ROM from your carrier. Once you're satisfied that the S4 is working properly with the stock ROM, install TWRP and then install Cyanogenmod.
Already done that XD

I've installed the stock rom(lollipop), rooted my phone and used flashify(Google play app) to download and flash recovery(TWRP). Should I use a cyamogenmod nightly or a stable version ?
That's up to you. Development channel ROMs have a greater possibility of bugs that could stop you cold. Release channel ROMs have fewer bugs but generally lag behind the Development channel in terms of bug fixes and, occasionally, features.
I personally use Optimized CM12.1 from AntaresOne.
Could you recommend a custom rom specifically for s4 i9505 ?

So I download the rom zip I want in the root of internal storage, go into recovery and do factory reset, wipe cache + dalvik cache. I choose install and select zip I downloaded. What else did I miss ?
P.S Can you flash gapps later on cyamogenmod if it boots ?
Nothing from what I can see. I simply think that the Cyanogenmod ROM you downloaded didn't like your phone. I've had no issues with Optimized CM12.1, which is why I recommended it.
Re GApps: Yes.

Just flashed OmniRom beta 2 build together with gapps linked in the OmniRom thread and I get fc on first boot on both NFC service and one more android service something something - can't get passed the pop ups and a reboot into recovery is all I can do.
Wiped system using TWRP 2.6.3.2 and cleared cache after install - did another wipe after reboot just to be sure. I have seen this on other roms that I try to flash?
am I doing something wrong during the flash process?
Wipe (default twrp)
install rom and gapps
clear cache/dalvik
reboot
Tried different gapps with no success..
I tried to flash the first OmniRom (build 1) with the same problems and I also got CM start tutorial when I had flashed OmniRom?? So it feels like the wipe is not working as it should?

Where did you get the build? If you got a CM start tutorial then you definitely didn't wipe, and i wonder what exactly you're flashing? This would be anything official Omni

As this is far from an official build, you will want to direct your issues to the porter/builder of the ROM in that thread you linked.

Think I found the problem - a "default" wipe in twrp won't do it - I had to go in to advanced and choose "cache,dalvik,data and system" now it works like a charm! Good to know for the future..
I have a problem, im trying to flash new cm13 and i have the newest twrp for my g2 and everything seemed to be ok i've wiped and flash new cm13 and gapps 6.0 there was no problem with that and then im trying to reboot and its weird cause im seeing an LG logo like for a second and then is dark screen and its not the problem with specific nightly update cause ive tried with like 10 of them and everything is the same. So maybe you know whats going on and can help me.

Hi guys, new to the Android rooting community and just wanted some help figuring out what's what.
Today I bought a Samsung Galaxy S4, unlocked, I9505. It's on Android 5.0.1 (I believe that's lollipop?). Now I just wondered now that I have rooted it, what do I do now? I've rooted and done nothing else other than check my root permission which I have. I wanted to install a clean, stock Google Play Edition rom and then remove the bloatware from it and use that as my phone. How am I doing that? Do I need to have rooted a specific Android version to install roms? I was reading around about a custom recovery, do I already have that installed from root or is that another thing that I need? :crying:
Any help would be appreciated as I am super new to this having come from iPhone jailbreaking.
Thanks!
You need a custom recovery to install just about any custom rom. Custom recoveries don't from rooting, you have to flash it manually. I recommend TWRP. Just google twrp s4. They also have an installation guide. After you flashed TWRP you can flash one of the GPE roms from the forum. There are 2. One is untouched and the other has slight modifications.

Thanks for the reply, at this moment I just need all the info I can get before I do anything! Is TWRP the best? I'm sure "which is the best recovery" is asked a lot, so I'll have a look around. Do they do different things or are the premise of them generally the same? And that's fantastic about GPE, so I won't need to upgrade any higher than 5.0.1?

Normally you have to wipe data, cache, dalvik cache and system before flashing a rom. This can either be done manually or as a factory reset from within the recovery. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't boot. Try another kernel. Or you might want to try the AOSP rom by JDC team. It's basically the same as GPE, but without any of the google apps. But those can be flashed. You need to download a gapps package. The most popular seems to be from open gapps. Choose ARM, the android version of the rom and then the type of package. Pico is the smallest and will give you only the google play store.
---------- Post added at 08:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 PM ----------
And don't change recoveries. The others are outdated. TWRP is the only one up-to-date. You might also try another version of TWRP. The newest is 2.8.7.2 I think.
So today I went from stock 5.0.1 to CM 12.1 Nightly (20160110) but gapps keeps crashing which makes my phone semi useless
First Things first
1. Flashed TWRP using Odin
2. Went into recovery and wiped Data and System
3. Installed CM 12.1
4. Installed GApps
5. Wiped Cache/Dalvik and rebooted
Phone boots up normally, And after unlocking the screen a stream of errors emerges, Not sure if i'm using the right gapps or not
Any help is much appreciated

Did you by any chance use Opengapps? Opengapps is like a hit or miss. Some days they work and some days then don't.
Try these gapps:

You need to perform a full wipe though.

I think you can try a complete boot before flashing Gapps. And try other builds of Opengapps like mini or micro(well or even smaller depending your "Google apps" usage)

Strange... because the symptoms shows like a mismatched gapps to cm... btw are you using the lastest TWRP?
If Yes try other recoveries. I used to use Philz until I bricked mine and had to flash back to stock and now I'm using a modified TWRP to enable dual boot.
If No then try update it and give it another try?

I think that i didn't express myself very well. Yes it's advisable and strongly recommended to use lastest builds of any recovery available as stable build.
But once i had to use Philz to flash a MIUI ROM because TWRP 2.8.6.0 was unable to execute the installation script didn't know why and that's why i said about different recoveries, and oh.... I forgot to say that after successful install rollback to TWRP because it's pretty new , stable and more user friendly than others.(CMW and the rainbow Easter egg was fine but having to use vol and power keys..... NO THANKS!)

Autorec is just the first step to twrp. Go to https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/twrp-twrp-2-8-0-0-kernel-f2fs-tools-t2898705 and get the bumped version 3.1.0-1.
Then put it in your phones memory, boot into twrp you got from autorec and flash the new version.

Hi,
It seems I have the same issue :
I tried to install LineAge, using TWRP 3.2.1 (from CM12.1), but nothing is working (I tried 20180425 and 20180404 nightly versions). After reboot I can see the backlight on the lcd screen but nothing else. Then I tested the installation of a CM12 version, all is right, normal boot. No error message written in the console. i tried also a CM13 install, same as Lineage.
Do you think I have to flask back to LG "OS" ?

Are you clean flashing? Make sure to factory reset, wipe system, data and cache before flash. Never wipe internal storage. Swipe factory reset again after flash. Try flashing gapps later after confirming that Rom boots fine.

Hi,
yes I wiped Dalvik, system, data & cache through TWRP, before flash. But I don't wipe after, I rebooted without GApps...
Maybe, because I read that somewhere, I need to flash a bootstack. I don't know when I have to di it, if I have to do.

Yes, you don't wipe after flash, but you swipe the factory reset, it does not wipe but resets the flashed Rom. Give it a clean shot again. Check MD5 of the all files you downloaded with original MD5 to confirm the file didn't get corrupt.
Boot stack flash not needed. Please read the first post thoroughly in lineage thread
"""
Requirements:
Custom recovery (TWRP or any other)
KitKat (KK) bootloader (included in the lg-devs LP bootstack)
KitKat (KK) bootstack minimum; Please read the entire FAQ for important bootstack information. Installation of bootstacks is NOT recommended.
Clean flash if coming from another ROM or CM 13 (no dirty flash, wipe system too check you bootstack(needen bump support)
